Anwser to francis. I use aps-c camera and I'm usually comfortable up to ISO 3200 if you want something very sharp, ISO 6400 can still work ok but at zoom 100% on dark sky you'll notice the noise. I know with full frame camera you can go safely to 12,800 ISO. this is just about noise, talking of dynamic range I very rarely found myself wanting "oh if I had more to slide on highlights and shadows setting...". concerning pixel density, unless you print A1/A0 you won't complain about 26 or 33 megapixels, I did some math in the past. 24 megapixel and A2 gives you about 243 dpi, so it's plenty considering you should not look at the picture below 42cm distance (due to eye field of view) @@FrancisAlbert1990

answer to halgame. the sad part of sony is updates, when you buy a camera that's what you are going to see up until EOL. there are some exceptions on very high end, like A1, but yeah everyone complains about this sony behaviour. I am 80% sure most of the new tracking features can be integrated in many A7 starting from mark "iii" and A6400/A6600. @@Dhuxul9

Fair comparison and side by side photos, Curtis! Your POVs demonstrate what the cams can achieve - especial for trams😊. IMO, prior investments in one sensor size or the other, plus ergonomic preferences would dominate a buyer’s decision. Comfortable gear will be used more. Lots of interest in the shutter button red cover - adhesive add-on has limitations, but cool-factor remains, unless you don’t want to draw attention.😊 Cheers!

I just bought a Sony A6700 and have only been outside 1 time since I got it, currently sick 😷. But that one time at Copenhagen Airport, taken photos of airplanes, was definitely an eye opener for me. So much more clear photos compared to my old camera (sony RX10 IV)

@BrianParkes 5 ай бұрын
Yeah I could tell, it was the perspective, particularly on the facial features. You had to use a wider lense on the A6700 to make the field of view match. The full-frame was definitely more flattering because of that lense. Thanks for this, its really useful as I'm looking at getting my first camera for video after years of professional photography and have been wrestling with aps-c vs full-frame and should I jump ship to a new brand and so these blind tests are very useful.

Great video, very informative! And what I really like is that it made me doubt (AGAIN) the decision I thought I already made, which is going for the A7 IV. Upgrading from APSC to FF was what I thought I needed.. But now I'm not so sure anymore, even though I watched a lot (like a LOT) of informative videos on the few options that are available in my budget range. That shot of the A7 IV next to the A6700 with money for an extra lens that would give me that same-ish background blur was the nudge over the edge if the A6700 is going to be the one. Back to thinking about what it is that I need instead of what Sony wants me to think i need 😂 Thank you!

I was thinking on the a7iv but after this video maby one with more megapixels… but I don’t know if going for the alpha C cameras or the conventional 60 mp. What do you think? Meanwhile will buy a telephoto lenses. Still choosing… many to choose from. I like the new tamron 35-150, and the sigma 70-200 sport. Also the tamron 70-180 I think it is…

A6700 all the way. Had the A74, great camera but it did not live up to the capabilities of the a6700. Which camera I use most for macro? a6700 Which camera I use to shoot a picture of the moon? a6700. Which camera do I take with me for that opportunity for a great picture? a6700. Whatever mood I am in, I may take my A7R3 or a6700. I love them both. Also getting practice on my new A7CR. Depending on what I want to do, what I want to shoot, I take what suits me best. Of course, it's the a6700. As for the slight differences in the pictures, outside of the shooter, no one will know or even care. They like a well taken photo. Winner: a6700.

Thank you for the video. Surprised you didn’t bring in the A7CII with the same Full Frame sensor as the A7IV but an APS-C size body and the same AI assisted AF as the A6700 and also only one card slot and it’s cheaper. Those are the two I’m comparing. Also try using the Sigma 28-70/2.8 DG DN and compare that to the Sigma 18-50/2.8 DC DN for a more similar comparison than the 24-70/2.8 ART. Take care.
@imranpatel4612 5 ай бұрын
This was exactly my dilema. Purchased both to test and return one and ended up keeping the a6700 as the a7c ii + Sigma 28-70/2.8 DG DN did not offer much of a quality and performance difference over the a6700 + Sigma 18-50/2.8 DC DN. Opted for the cheaper more compact set up as the weight makes a difference for me. The FF lenses on the smaller a7c ii body just felt unbalanced in hand and less comfortable to use. But the apsc glass on the a6700 feel spot on
@CurtisPadley 5 ай бұрын
You're welcome. Unfortunately couldn't get my hands on one to compare it to. My findings where that the A7CII is just a smaller A7iv with a couple less features. And at the price, I think it's just worth going for a A6700. It's what roughly £500 less and offers much more video capabilities. Similar photography capabilities bar the Fullframe sensor. But saying that from the tests comparing Fullframe and APS-C, it can be hard to even notice a difference cause both do a fantastic job. Again lenses, unfortunately don't have access to all that equipment. Not made of money unfortunately 😂💰 So I tried to keep the comparison as similar and close as possible. Thanks for your comment and hope that answers your questions. Have a fantastic day! 🤙
@stevenwaldstein2249 5 ай бұрын
@@CurtisPadley Thank you for your response. Probably should have mentioned that I’m really just a stills shooter so that’s my reference where a FF sensor is attractive. The compact size of the A6700’s lens family is very impressive though. Problem is I’m looking for a travel companion to my full size Full Frame where I already own lenses and have made some of them as small as possible. Do with the A6700 I now have two lens families, bummer.

Definitely a6700. Less rolling shutter and no crop in 4K60p. You can also keep your 18-105, which is a cheap, versatile power zoom that would cost a lot more on full frame.

@peakperspectives-ch Ай бұрын
for photography it's a great camera! The main drawback to the aps-c line is really the larger lenses of FF, if that doesn't bother you too much and you enjoy the increased dynamic range of your photos, then keep it!

Thays actually in correct about the depth of field
@CurtisPadley 5 ай бұрын
It depends. If you have exactly same lens at exactly same settings (note this necessitates a different subject) then APS-C actually has less depth of field. However, typically one wants the same angle of view so one uses shorter focal lengths with APS-C. This gives more depth of field.

If you’re not going for the A7rV or A7CR then get the a6700, im also looking to upgrade(From a zv-e10)for professional use and the A7iv honestly just seems too pricey for what it offers compared to other brand competitors(canon r6 mkii). The a7iv doesn’t really make that much sense since for almost the same price you can get the a7cR.

Since this is the first mirrorless Sony crop model with Back Illuminated Sensor, it would be really interesting to see a low light comparison with a Full-frame model. Specifically for the noise handling. A6600 would get a bit unpleasant around 3200 ISO.
